May 16, 2018FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Pulaski, PA)...After
a successful four-night "Battle of the Bay" Speedweek presented by Pancho's
Racing Products last month in the Mid-Atlantic, the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC
RUSH Dirt Late Model Touring Series powered by Pace Performance is set to resume
action this weekend with a doubleheader.Saturday night (May 19) at Stateline Speedway in Busti, NY will feature
the "Bill Law Memorial" followed by 50 miles west on Sunday evening at Eriez
Speedway in Erie, Pa.Both
events are $2,000 to-win "Marquee" Tour distinctions, and due to rain will open
the season at both speedways.The
Eriez show has a rain date of June 10, while Stateline will utilize June 23.

The "Bill Law Memorial" returns to Stateline for the second straight year on
Saturday night.In 2011, Law was diagnosed with small
cell lung cancer and passed away in July 2012.
Law's involvement in racing began in the late 1970s as he loved having muscle
cars and going to the drag strip in his high school days. Even though he never
actually raced, he stood behind racing 100%. In the early 1980s, Law and Leon
Szweda put an asphalt car together and raced at New York's Holland Speedway.

Law's taste for racing moved to the dirt tracks in the mid 1980s as he helped
Tom Taber for several years. He met a lot of great people that he became very
good friends with; one was Bob "The Bird" Baldwin. The Law Family traveled with
him and his family racing from Pennsylvania to West Virginia to Maryland.

As
Bill's son Jon was getting older, they got involved in Go-Kart racing as the
family would travel all over New York and Pennsylvania. Bill was still involved
in auto racing as they would race Go-Karts during the day and sell parts and
fuel at night at the races. As Jon got older, Bill bought him an IMCA
Modified. A few seasons later, Jon and Bill bought a Limited Late Model.
That lasted a couple years until Jon was starting his own family and got away
from the racing scene.

Law was the first person to have a Crate Late Model in the region when the class
debuted in 2007 in the Northeast.
Law had several drivers over the years behind the wheel of his #14 including
Baldwin, Ward Schell, Rich
Gardner, Jon Law, Curt VanPelt, David Scott, and Kyle Scott.Today, Bill's grandson, Kyle Murray, is entering his second year of RUSH
Late Model competition, and in fact, won his first career race on May 5 at
Genesee Speedway in Sweeney Weekly Series competition!

With the Scott Family owning Stateline,
it's fitting the "Bill Law Memorial" takes place at their track as Jean and Jim
Scott's son David and grandson Kyle drove for Law.At last year's inaugural event, Jeremy Wonderling withstood a furious
challenge by standout Max Blair to capture the first Sweeney Touring Series
event ever held at Stateline.

Blair was the 2017 track champion and
RUSH member champion at Stateline where he won six feature events.Dennis Lunger, Jr. picked up four wins, while David Lyon was the only
repeat winner with two.Single
victories in 2017 went to Darrell Bossard, Jason Genco, and Wonderling.

The
Sweeney Tour has made five visits over the past three seasons to Eriez Speedway
with the Blairs winning all five as Max has four wins and his father, Rob, one
in a substitution role at the May 2016 event. The average car count for
the four events has been 33 cars per night. The
Sweeney Tour returns to Eriez for a second appearance on Sunday, July 29.

Mike
Knight was the 2017 track champion at Eriez, while Kyle Zimmerman was the top
RUSH member point earner.Blair and
Chad Wright were tied atop the win list with three victories apiece.Andy Boozel won two of the first four feature events in 2017 at the
track, while single wins went to Genco, Knight, and Russ King.

"We have
to thank the Rohrer and Scott Families for continuing their support of RUSH,"
stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig.
"They've both fought through a terrible start to the season with Mother Nature
so we're hoping the weather this weekend will cooperate.This will be a great way to kick off the season at both tracks.We also have to thank them for working with us on make-up dates in the
event Mother Nature doesn't cooperate.Both tracks have tremendous weekly talent and combine that will the
bullring-type tracks and it should be an exciting two nights of racing.Bill was a very important part of Crate Late Model racing from the
beginning and we're proud to remember him once again on Saturday night."

The
Sweeney Tour completed all four events as part of the "Battle of the Bay"
Speedweek.Max Blair opened the 2018
season winning his first ever race in the "First State" at Delaware
International Speedway.The
following night saw, Ross Robinson, who lives across the street from Georgetown
Speedway capture his first career RUSH win.The third night saw Logan Roberson win at his Friday night home track,
Potomac Speedway, for his first career Sweeney Tour win.Speedweek then wrapped up with Roberson repeating the feat taking the win
at his Saturday night home track, Winchester Speedway.

Blair
enters the weekend as the Sweeney Tour point leader and will look to build on
that lead at his home tracks.Blair
has a 28-point lead on Wonderling, who would love to repeat his 2017 "Bill Law
Memorial" win on Saturday night.
Darrell Bossard sits third in his first season on the Tour.Canadian Charlie Sandercock is currently fourth ahead of 2016 Sweeney
Tour Champion, John Waters.

FK Rod
Ends will present the $100 "Shock the Clock" Qualifying award and $25 to each
winner each night at Stateline and Eriez.

Precise
Racing Products will award a $100 gift card for the "Pedal Down" Hard Charger

bottles of Xtreme6 Racing Brake Fluid valued at approximately $45 along with a

RUSH
Series Officials will also determine the new Dirt Defender "Defensive Drive"
to the driver that best defended his position
throughout the night, and will receive a $40 product package. The award
could go to a driver holding off another for the final heat race or B main

to stay on the lead lap before a caution, or any such deserving move.
